PESTO GENOVESE (AUTHENTIC ITALIAN BASIL PESTO)



Pesto Genovese (Authentic Italian Basil Pesto) image

An authentic Genoese pesto. It's straight from Italy and you won't find a better recipe! This calls for a spoonful of pecorino cheese, but you could also use all Parmesan in a pinch. To store in fridge for up to 1 month: place pesto in a jar, cover with olive oil, and top with a lid.

  • In a mortar and pestle, begin grinding a few basil leaves, adding a few more as you go (this makes it easier). If you don't have a mortar and pestle, use a food processor.
  • When the leaves have all been ground, add a few pine nuts at a time, then one sliced clove of garlic, and a large pinch of salt (the salt grains create friction and help with pulverization). Keep grinding until the ingredients form a paste.
